Conclusions

17 October 2019
1.
The European Council endorses the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic
Energy Community. On this basis, the European Council invites the Commission, the
European Parliament and the Council to take the necessary steps to ensure that the agreement
can enter into force on 1
st
November 2019, so as to provide for an orderly withdrawal.
2.
The European Council approves the Political Declaration setting out the framework for the
future relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland. The European Council restates the Union's determination to have as close as
possible a partnership with the United Kingdom in the future in line with the Political
Declaration. The Union's approach will continue to be defined by the overall positions and
principles set out in the previously agreed European Council's guidelines as well as in
statements and declarations, notably those of 25 November 2018. The European Council will
remain permanently seized of the matter.
3.
The European Council reiterates its gratitude to Michel Barnier for his tireless efforts as the
Union's chief negotiator and for his contribution to maintaining the unity among EU27
Member States throughout the negotiations on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from
the European Union.
